Yep agreed. I'd maybe put "Wretches & Kings" in there too, but that was more suitable for the earlier part of the 00's when the rock/rap style was more dominant. I'm not sure how well that would do, but then again it is LP. I'm really hoping "Burning In The Skies" gets a chance at some point. I'm sure that won't do well on Active, but it'll kill on Alternative. I would think and hope it's a foregone conclusion that it will be the third single. Nothing else seems as obvious. Agreed.

"Wretches" or "Burning"? I think the former would make a good fourth single, but the latter doesn't sound at all like a single to me. I definitely don't think it should be third, especially with "Iridescent" poised to be this album's "Shadow of the Day."

I think "Iridescent" could be the fourth single, if only because "Burning" is far more immediate.

I'd kind of like to see Blackout as a single.

"Blackout" & "Wretches & Kings" are the only other songs that could do anything whatsoever on Active, so I'd pick one of those.

It will hold the top spot on Alternative. By now, it's just a matter of time. I will be waiting for "Iridescent", the "Shadow Of The Day" from A Thousand Suns to be released. Too bad this new record let me down. It's by far Linkin Park's worst yet...

2 1 LINKIN PARK Waiting For The End 1650 1578 72 8.176
I'm surprised no one posted this in the last 9 hours. I don't really like the song, but it deserves to be documented nonetheless.

Very happy, I love this song. For the 'major flop' this album was, it now has more alt #1s than MTM.

^ Didn't think about that.... ha, well then. I for one like the album to a certain extent. I appreciate the experimentation and different sounds Linkin Park has done, but it's not something I would listen to on a road trip in a car cruisin'.

^ Strange. I guess you could bring it on a roadtrip to listen to, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that the album doesn't sound like a "roadtrip album".

But it's an epic album. And epic albums are totally badass to listen to in the car. Especially when night driving.
